Chapter 25 Bad Rumors

Skeleton talisman, also known as bone talisman.

This is a specialty in the world of shame. It is a mysterious object made by people who have mastered certain mysterious knowledge using whale bones and other legendary animals' bones and bones and teeth.

——However, most skeleton amulets are just folk counterfeits, and they are fakes that follow the example but have no effect.

This should be easy to understand. Without mastering mysterious knowledge and mastering the skills of making bone amulets, ordinary people imitate and carved them like this, but they are just folk crafts with their own merits. At most, they only have monumental meanings and no actual effect.

They themselves don’t know what the meaning and mystery of the rune marks carved on their bones and fangs represent. Naturally, they cannot expect the bone talisman created in this way to possess mysterious power like a great fortune.

After all, that's not impossible, but it's definitely a low probability thing.

Therefore, it is difficult to make real skeleton talismans, and each can have a very unique influence on the user's physical ability or magic ability.

This small object is extremely precious. Some unique effects and rare qualities can bring extremely valuable amplification bonus to the user, and can even provide various tactical help to those who have mastered the mysterious power.

True bone talismans only need to be carried with you, and they can directly obtain the magic effect bonus that the bone talismans themselves have. It does not require any complicated usage methods. They will automatically provide carriers with various enhancements and amplifications.

For example, it can increase the efficacy of the drugs used by the carrier, increase the carrier's muscle strength, explosive power, swimming speed, bounce ability, etc., and can even directly enhance magic and supernatural abilities...

In the legend, there are some extremely powerful and rare bone talismans, called the black bone talisman or the dark bone talisman. Their power is even a powerful effect of preventing death and interfering with fate.

It is said that before the founding of the Archipelago Empire, the behavior of holding bone talismans, including Tevia's walrus tufts, was allowed because it could protect the health of workers and extend the lifespan of slaves, which was also beneficial to the upper class and nobles.

However, with the industrial revolution led by whale oil researched by Esmond Rosbol, I gradually didn't know when it started, and the Academy of Representatives began to completely ban the use of bone talismans and despise it as a witchcraft creation.

Those who hold bone talismans will be considered to be committing crimes and are poisoned by the House of Representatives. It is said that a studio was set up in the backyard of the Senior Supervisor's Office to destroy bone talismans with mysterious powers.

However, this has nothing to do with Mo Chen. Although from the time when he obtained the demon mark outside the world, as long as he is in the world of shame, the Academy of All living beings will definitely be his number one enemy.

Either you die or I die.

But now, no matter how strong the Academy of All living things is, it is impossible to enforce the law across planes. Moreover, even in the world of shame, Mo Chen will still use magic when he should use magic, and will still use bone talisman when he should use bone talisman.

As for the current world, he naturally doesn't care about the view of the extreme cult that is beginning toward self-destruction.

...

...

Mo Chen sat in the taxi, slowly checking out the bone talismans he had, and was considering the bone talismans he might use later.

When the Danwall Royal City fell, he seized the opportunity to search for it in a small way. In addition to six ancient runes, he also obtained more than ten skeleton amulets.

However, he couldn't figure out what the function of each skeleton talisman had at that time. He could only capture the flow of magic through void perception, so as to distinguish the true and false, and then pack it all up and take it away.

But now, he has basically figured out the effects of each bone talisman.

In fact, it doesn’t matter even if there is no mysterious knowledge. The bone talisman itself is a creature with magical magical effects. Even if it is impossible to interpret the mysterious symbols on the bone talisman, it is good to not understand the meaning and mystery of the symbol.

It is not a problem for Mo Chen. His void perception can actually read a certain magic rhythm transmitted by the bone talisman itself, thereby roughly obtaining the information therein.

Although it is not as mysterious as digitization, you can directly see all the parameters of the bone talisman.

But it is still okay to roughly understand the specific effect of the magic effect of the bone talisman itself. He was a little suspicious that those witches or bone talisman masters, people with mysterious powers, had similar identification skills mastered by -

It may be a magical ability similar to your own void perception.

After all, the realm of void is the origin of all supernatural phenomena and magic. I only directly master the power of magic through the demon marks outside the world, while those witches and others master the power of magic through their own research.

In essence, it should be the same, but theoretically there will be no difference.

This can also explain why Void Perception has the ability to "identify" the effect of bone talismans. After all, it is the essence of homologous origin, but the two manifestations are different in the form.

As for why Mo Chen was unable to read the magic rhythm of the bone talisman at that time, and thus understood the general information and effects, it was because the bone talismans were piled up at that time.

Not so complicated, it's actually very simple-

It’s like people communicate. Ordinary people talk to two people at the same time on different topics, and there is a tendency to be a chaotic trend. If more than a dozen people are talking at the same time and talking about different topics respectively.

So how many people can clearly distinguish and accurately capture the useful information hidden in it?

A total of thirteen bone talismans are all real magic items, without any counterfeits. After all, this was stolen from Mo Chen in person in the bank vault, not bought on Pinduoduo.

And the most important thing is that there are no subtle magical effects such as "contraception" in these bone talismans.

After all, strictly speaking, this type of magical effect is useful, and it is useless. If there is really such a type of bone talisman, it will probably be taken away by collectors for their own use, or sold to those nobles in need.

Those who stayed are the ones that the nobles cannot use and look down on—

For example, those who strengthen sword fighting ability and increase the speed of running with all their might... These precious bone talismans are useless to the nobles.

How could they need to run like those lower-class people, or fight by themselves? Therefore, the bone talisman with powerful effects only has the value of collection for them, but the kind that can't be complained about subtle effects...

It is the most popular among the nobles.

Mo Chen had no intention of evaluating this behavior, which could probably be regarded as a manifestation of "meat eater contempt"? But this is just right, assign it as needed, hello, I, hello everyone.

He just brought out all the bone talismans he had, which were the props needed to use in the next "performance".

The effects of the bone talisman are fixed. He has tested it specifically during the day today. The conclusion is that the magic effect of the bone talisman is not restricted like the magical ability. It can be exerted whether it is an effect that acts on oneself or the outside world.

This discovery finally made Mo Chen feel much better.

It seems that the problem of retreating the environment is not so serious. Although my most important means have been restricted, the magic power of the skeleton talisman can still be compensated to a certain extent.

Now, I have to use these magic props to verify my ideas.

“Here, guest.”

In the night outside the suburbs, the taxi slowly stopped under the sign of a remote road, and the driver turned around and said.

The middle-aged uncle looked at the young man in the back seat, wanted to speak but stopped. After thinking for a while, he said slowly:

"After that, have you made an appointment with someone at the guest? It's very remote here, and sometimes some bad rumors will be heard... Anyway, it's better to be careful."

"Well, don't worry, it's okay, it's enough to get here."

Mo Chen nodded, looked at the pricing table, and was about to take out his mobile phone to scan the code. But he didn't know what he thought of, and then took back his phone, opened his wallet and drew out a brand new bill.

The taxi driver sighed. He was just a businessman and couldn't help the customer with his advice. It was the limit to advise him. The other party had no choice but to not listen to him.

It's just that it's dark, and there's no village or shop here, I just hope it's really okay.

The kind middle-aged uncle took the money, turned around and looked at it with the help of the light of the dashboard, and then skillfully started looking for money. However, at this time, he heard the sound of opening the car door from the back seat.

"Customer, please wait, I haven't asked you for money yet."

“…”

“…”

"Guest?" Without any answer, the driver raised his eyebrows and didn't bother to find money. He raised his head and looked at the rearview mirror, and then turned around.

There was no one in the back seat, no one outside the car, no one everywhere.

He quickly got out of the car to check, walked around the taxi, and found that there was no one in front, back, left and right. It seemed that in just two seconds, the young man disappeared into the air as soon as he got off the car.

There is no reason for this at all. Where can he run?! Bolt is so awesome, but it takes about nine seconds to run out of a hundred meters, and it is still the kind of sprinting with all his strength.

Who can run to the point where people cannot be seen in two or three seconds without any movement? The surrounding terrain is still so flat that there is no place to hide people at all.

“…!!”

The taxi driver's face turned pale in an instant, and some bad rumors surged into his mind, making him feel that his scalp was about to explode and he didn't care about anything. He quickly got in the car and started the taxi and turned his head, and ran away in a flash.

Just in the shadow next to the street sign, Mo Chen kept watching the whole process quietly. Seeing the taxi moving away quickly at the beginning, he nodded with great satisfaction.

He lowered his head and looked at the thing in his hand. It was a bone talisman the size of an index finger.

If you want to get a name, it is probably "like a sculpture", which is appropriate.

Because the effect of this bone talisman is quite powerful-

As long as you are not fighting or have some large-scale movements, when standing still, most people will subconsciously ignore you, even if you are standing in front of him.

The disadvantage is that people cannot notice it before the bone talisman becomes effective. For example, if you are talking to someone and standing still after you finish speaking, it is meaningless. That person has already noticed you.

On the contrary, even if you talk to others at the beginning, but the other party no longer pays attention to you for some reason on the way, and when you are not discovered, you can move to another place, the bone talisman can work.

In short, if someone notices you at the beginning, and there is no need to "find" you in the next process-

The bone talisman is useless.

But if someone notices you from the beginning, but after that, for some reason, it is impossible to determine where you are and needs to "find" you again-

The bone talisman will disturb his perception.
